Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is thoroughly blended.
- Unroll and gently flatten the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Divide it into triangles.
- Take a spoonful of the chicken filling and place it in the center of each triangular piece of dough. Fold the dough over the filling to create a pillow shape, pinching the edges tightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together an egg to create an egg wash. Brush this wash over the tops of the filled dough pillows.
- Place the assembled Chicken Pillows on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the Chicken Pillows are baking, prepare the creamy sauce by melting butter in a saucepan and adding flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in whole milk and heavy cream until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Continue to stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
- Remove the Chicken Pillows from the oven, drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce over them, and serve warm.
